This situation has been worsened by the <strong>climate crisis<\/strong>, which, through recent floods and prolonged periods of drought, has <strong>damaged around 85% of agricultural land, putting the food security<\/strong> of millions of people <strong>at risk<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>A country where women make up more than half of the population, <strong>around 40% of adults lack basic literacy skills, and 53% of girls are married before the age of 18.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In this context, ActionAid works alongside communities to strengthen food security, promote rights and support the independence of women and girls.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #ed1c24;\">Community gardens<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In the districts of <strong>Mocuba and Alto Molocu\u00e9<\/strong>, we have created <strong>13 community gardens together with local women<\/strong>. Maize, cassava, peas and various types of vegetables are grown here, while beekeeping helps diversify activities and sources of income.<br \/>\nThe gardens have produced <strong>hundreds of kilos of food<\/strong>, partly distributed to families and partly sold in local markets. They are places where people cooperate, share knowledge and work together to build a safer future.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #ed1c24;\">REFLECT Circles<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Not being able to read and write can make it more difficult to manage one\u2019s activities and defend oneself against violence and discrimination. For this reason, in the <strong>district of Alto Molocu\u00e9, we support REFLECT Circles<\/strong>: spaces for learning and community participation, where <strong>more than 300 women are now learning to read and write.<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Circles also provide an opportunity to <strong>discuss women\u2019s rights, gender-based violence and child marriage<\/strong>, helping girls understand that they can choose their own future.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #ed1c24;\">Women\u2019s clubs<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In Women\u2019s Clubs, <strong>girls and women can meet, receive training and acquire useful skills to build their own future<\/strong>. The activities offered include courses in sewing and tailoring, computer skills, literacy and healthy cooking.<br \/>\nThe Clubs are also <strong>spaces for discussion<\/strong>, where women strengthen their self-<strong>confidence<\/strong>, share <strong>experiences<\/strong> and learn about their <strong>rights<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h6><em>Photocredits: Dilayla \u200bRomeo\/\u200bActionAid<\/em><\/h6>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":19407,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19415","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-senza-categoria"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Our work in Mozambique - ActionAid Switzerland<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The ActionAid federation is also active in Mozambique!
